Figure 6-20 Open the crimping clip

2. Remove the cable tie at one end of the corrugated pipe marked as "RRU" by using the
diagonal pliers.
3. Remove the white dust cap of the optical cable connector, see Figure 6-21.

Note:
Do not remove the dust cap during the storage, transportation, and routing before
installation.

4. Align the connector with the optical interface module, and insert it. When you hear the
sound of "bang", it indicates that the optical cable connector is installed properly, see
Figure 6-22.

Figure 6-22 Insert the optical cable

Note:
In the case of cascaded connection with RRUs, use an optical fiber for cascading
connection to connect the OPT2 port of upper-level RRU and the OPT1 port of
lower-level RRU.

5. Secure the optical cable at the crimping clip in the wiring cavity, see.
In the case of one optical cable, install it to the outgoing slot at the right side and use
a waterproof rubber plug to block the other slot.

Note:
In the maintenance window, there shall be a certain arc between the optical cable
connector and the optical cable. The bending radius shall be larger than 40 mm.

6. Bundle and fix the optical fiber cable.
The outdoor optical fiber cable should be laid vertically at least 200 mm from the lower
edge of the device when it is led out from the bottom of the RRU chassis. The optical
fiber cable should not be bent. The optical fiber cable is then fixed onto the pole or
cable tray. Coil the excess part of the optical fiber cable in a diameter of 300 mm to
400 mm and then bind the fiber coil to an appropriate position (for example, the wire
spool on the BBU) with black cable ties.
7. Remove the cable tie at one end of the corrugated pipe marked as "BBU" by using the
diagonal pliers and install it to the optical junction box or BBU.

8. Hang the plastic label of optical cable.
Close the maintenance window

9. Put the remaining waterproof plugs back to their original positions after installing all
power cables and fibers. Close the panel of maintenance window and install the
screws securely to avoid water penetration.
